Decoration Day, now known as Memorial Day, has roots in a tradition established by Black-Americans in the aftermath of the Civil War. On May 1, 1865, the formerly enslaved, with profound gratitude for Union soldiers who fought and died for their emancipation, began commemorating that sacrifice by decorating Union graves. This remembrance and gratitude eventually gained support from communities across America.

I divorced my best friend after finding out she had other " best" friends. Our last movie was Fatal Attraction.
I wish schools taught this.
Memorial Day began in 1865 when 10,000 former enslaved & a few white missionaries honored fallen Union soldiers.
It was founded in memory of those who gave their life to end white supremacy terror, slavery, & human trafficking
